    Looks like Netflix/Warner Bros. is happening. (or maybe not.)

    Soon there will be 4 companies owning everything and you will have sub to all of them to get all the content you want and your back to cable all over again. :smug

    OTA has bit the Dust

    Like I said before, they should of come out with this unit about 5 years ago and it might of helped customers stay longer. But the way things are going with streaming, this unit may not be needed much longer. I just love the way you can watch your satellite locals and cable channels and...

    OTA has bit the Dust

    Can't compare since he has the older Hopper with sling instead of Hopper 3, but I bet it is faster. I notice one thing that makes a difference that he pointed out to me. He uses an ethernet cord directly to the Hopper instead of wireless. He said it makes it more stable and it doesn't lose...

    OTA has bit the Dust

    My buddy recently got the Plus unit added to his old hopper with sling and two Joey 4s replaced his Joey 3s and I saw it at Thanksgiving when I went to his house to visit. It is cool. It outputs the upconverted 4k picture on everything and even does real 4k if something is in it, and you...

    OTA has bit the Dust

    I got rid of my land line about 15 years ago. It simply doesn't make sense to have one since all that calls me on it was people trying to sell you crap or scam you. We just use our cell phones for everything.

    OTA has bit the Dust

    I do remember the 722k had an external ota tuner that you could add to it to give you ota recording. It slid in the back of the receiver and you screwed it in. I guess they figured it was cheaper to do the USB tuner instead. Although I have to say I have had quite a lot of those tuners go...

    Terrible call to DiSH

    So another $7.00 fee, when you didn't need it with a 722 or 722k.

    Disney announces price increases to streaming products

    I signed up for that last night because the wife wants to watch some show on it. Much cheaper then what they normally charge and good for a year.

    Terrible call to DiSH

    But you know that Hopper 2 is what we all call it when we are referencing the sequence of hoppers from Hopper 1 to Hopper 3. I don't refer to it as the Hopper with Sling, unless you are looking back on all information about the model when it first came out. :smug

    Terrible call to DiSH

    Sounds like copyright infringement issues here. The hopper 2 has been around longer then the space ship with the same name. :smug

    Cowgirl Channel Shutdown?

    Well there is a reverse Cowgirl position, that my wife was fond of back in the day when we were first married. ;)

    buying from dish

    ...fact as "tapeless recording" for NO fee unlike Directv, which did charge a fee. I remember Charlie talking about it on his Charlie Chat back then. *Might be a Southern thing, because I never lease cars either. I have to own them. Trade them in towards credit towards the new car I am buying.

    OTA Antenna with amplifier using Dish OTA Module-USB

    Get you a splitter and plug your antenna into it as a source and then one goes to the TV and one to the DISH ota tuner that hooks into the hopper by usb. I use a Televes Diginova Boss antenna that has a powered splitter that plugs into the wall and I have it connected to all my different...

    buying from dish

    Access fee should go away if you pay out right for the joey. Look at streaming. You can have access on several TVs in your house on I pads , phones etc. That is what you are competing with now days so change to compete. Years, and years ago DISH offered the 510 PVR and if you paid on it for...

    buying from dish

    Even if you own the receiver and want a replacement due to failure, they will give you one and you still own it on your account. Might pay shipping if you don't have the insurance.

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    Update on the Best Buy reply. I got no response from them and my complaint was sent back to me by email. So much for automation and A.I. bullsh*t. What a joke. :mad:
